A taste of home

Dear Dan,

Welcome to the Delhi ji हो गया मेरे लिए! आज तेरी बहुत याद आ रही है। Smoke, smog, and haze greeted us from a mostly uneventful flight with three solid Haryanvi जाट men in the row behind us who drank themselves till they passed out but had many philosophical remarks to make about the smoke in the air. The immigration officer was entirely unhelpful and rude. The traffic was intense. The guy in the duty free shop called his co-workers either "junior" or "senior". Welcome to Delhi! But it's also the longest home I've ever had and I love being back! Today we got a bonus surprise at Seema Masi's house - Aditya is also here! So we had a happy evening and I think you would've loved the chiku ice cream we had!
